In 2019's site update, analytics were ripped out while I looked for a more privacy-focused option. I'm happy to announce that the site now uses privacy-respecting Plausible Analytics, and I've updated the privacy policy to reflect this.
Plausible Analytics is an open-source project dedicated to making web analytics more privacy-friendly. Our mission is to reduce corporate surveillance by providing an alternative web analytics tool which doesn’t come from the AdTech world. (Source)
In the name of transparency, I'm going a step further: site analytics are now publicly available. Go here to see exactly what data is collected on droppedbits.com.
The change to Dropped Bits' privacy policy is available in its entirety here.
